Gordon In particular could have really helped with Bosh.

Gordon In particular could have really helped with Bosh.

 

 

Agreed!

 

I missed Harris, Gordon and KOQ....... and oh yeah, Frye was missing tonight too!

Bad loss. Vucevic and Payton were the only ones with energy

[Jay Magic 1,251]

Gordon In particular could have really helped with Bosh.

 

Not sure really, Bosh played like the all star he is.

 

Our 3 point D was poor

 

JV should of started payton and moved vic to the 2.

 

perfect time to have tried it. Bottled it.

 

Vooch is the man and Nobody tell me we didn't miss Tobias please & thank you.

 

Roll on the Cavs

 

Goodnight!

Not really a "bad loss" so to speak -- Heat can actually contend when Bosh is playing like this; were a team just trying to make the 8th seed.

 

Even though we lost, Payton put on a show with those steals. We kept it close -- could just as easily have won it.

 

The thing to look for in these types of games is progress and everyone's progressing nicely. Could have used T12's scoring but he was out. Also could have used AGs defense, hustle and rebounding.

Yes on all accounts, and I might add that our 3 point O was as bad as our 3 point D. Too bad because this was a winnable game.

I was at the game, not like it makes any difference but I like to think I had a front row seat to see how horrid our team defense was. I have never seen a team look so confused from the high pick and roll. Both of our guys would constantly either go under the screen, or follow the guy with the ball, leaving Bosh wide open. It was hard to watch. The communication was poor but that's something that I would hope gets better as these guys continue to play together.

 

Oh and my only other comment would be, PAYTON SHOULD START.

[Mauro Pedrosa 1,033]

Well, Bosh just killed the Bobcats so we can't feel too bad
